It Ends With Us: Behind the Scenes Drama Erupts
The highly anticipated film adaptation of Colleen Hoover’s novel “It Ends With Us” has become
entangled in a web of off-screen drama. While the movie tackles the serious issue of domestic
violence, reports of tension between lead actors Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni, who also
directed the film, threaten to overshadow the film’s message.
Lively’s “Effortless Rudeness”
An anonymous source claims that Lively, who played the lead role and served as an executive
producer, created a stressful environment on set with her “effortlessly rude” demeanor. The
source describes her as “extraordinarily opinionated” and someone who wasn’t afraid to voice
her strong feelings, leading to a “palpable sense that everyone was a little bit afraid of Blake.”
Adding fuel to the fire, the source criticizes Lively’s decision to bring her children to set during a
particularly challenging time in production. The crew was struggling to catch up after a writer’s
strike, and some felt her act of activism, raising money for “sick kids and horses,” came across as
“tone-deaf” considering their own struggles. Additionally, the timing of her new hair care brand
launch, Blake Brown, coinciding with the film’s promotion, raised questions about her marketing
priorities.
Baldoni’s “Performative Feminism”
Justin Baldoni, while praised by some fans, is also facing accusations. The source paints him as
overwhelmed and unable to assert control as director. They allege he would defer to Lively’s
strong opinions, constantly saying things like “Well just ask Blake.” The source further criticizes
his brand of “woke feminism,” calling his book “Undefining Masculinity” performative and
accusing him of being an “idiot.”
A War of Words
The claims from this anonymous source escalate the tension further. The source labels both
Lively and Baldoni as “entitled people” with “no experience with abuse,” accusing them of
“cosplaying what they imagine abuse could be like for hot people.” This is a particularly harsh
accusation, considering the film’s subject matter.
Lively’s representatives have countered with accusations of their own, claiming Baldoni fat-
shamed the actress. However, sources close to Baldoni defend him, citing his history of back
problems and his concern about being able to safely lift Lively during a scene.
The Verdict: Fact or Fiction?
It’s difficult to say definitively what transpired on set. Anonymous sources often have agendas,
and the timing of these accusations coincides with the film’s release. There’s also the possibility
of fabricated stories to deflect from other criticisms surrounding the film.
What is clear is that the “It Ends With Us” team needs to do a better job of managing the
narrative. This off-screen drama risks overshadowing the film’s Important message about
domestic violence and raises questions about the lead actors’ commitment to the cause. Until the
smoke clears, audiences are left to decide whether to separate the art from the artists.
